Grief Support

We are unique in offering such a vast array of grief support groups free of charge to all community members throughout the year.
 
Our groups address special needs for adults, teens, children, older adults and those who have lost a loved one to suicide.

Howe-Peterson could not offer so many groups and individualized attention to each family we serve without the expertise of Elaine Lamparski, Howe-Peterson's Aftercare Coordinator.
 
Elaine possesses more than 28 years of funeral service experience and has known profound losses in her life as well, so she understands the experience of loss and is empathetic to those who are grieving.
